It is known that burglars can strike at any time of the day and night. Especially in autumn, often in the twilight phase. Now that the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer, the police are going on the attack again and providing tips on how to fight criminals.
With the start of the “dark season” the high season for bold twilight burglars begins again! The perpetrators often strike late in the afternoon or early in the evening. “You know that many people are not at home yet,” experts say.
Tilted windows, open doors,…
This makes it all the more important to protect your home and ultimately your belongings. It is often made too easy for burglars: tilted windows or unlocked doors are often interpreted by the perpetrators as an ‘invitation’. It is not unusual for closed windows and French doors to pose no real obstacle. “Because simple locking systems do not provide sufficient protection against burglary!”
The police therefore recommend the use of burglar-resistant windows and doors – made of high-quality materials and equipped with safety locks and/or extra security. Alarm systems are also a very efficient means of deterring burglars.
Cash and valuables in sight
The perpetrators are mainly after cash, jewelry or other valuables. It is therefore advisable to keep valuables in a safe and ideally not to have large amounts of cash at home.
Executive offers free advice
The manager also offers help to keep burglars outside your own four walls. The advice – for example about insurance options – is free and can be requested from any police station.
